Hi Guys,
New release for you to try. -594 has the following new features
- Full support for SIP Header manipulation at the trunk, Alias, Extension and IVR level. This allows you to, for example, generate different ring tones at the target phone(s) to signify various conditions, e.g. an external call, the boss is calling.. etc etc. This is not a bolt-on but a full integration into SAIL itself and it's way cool on our Snoms and Aastras. We will shortly post a how-to on the selintra wiki but if you can't wait to get started then read up on "Alert-Info" for your particular phone type.
- Clean up of extension and trunk state which makes these panels more accurate. At the same time, the trunks and extensions panels now also show latency (in milliseconds) to the target device or carrier
- New feature-code *{extension number}. This will dial, or transfer, directly to the voicemail of the extension referenced. This was a customer request feature. It's useful when you have a main receptionist and you do attended transfers. For example... call arrives=>receptionist attempts attended transfer to target=>Target declines the call and asks for the caller to be put through to his/her voicemail=>receptionist retrieves the call and transfers it directly to the target's voicemail without ringing the target phone a second time. A new timer; Vmail Xfer Delay has been included (in globals) to introduce a delay into this function to give the receptionist time to do the transfer and exit the call before the voicemail message begins to play.
- Experimental introduction of "Skins" - this is a fun thing that we've been playing with. At the moment there are only two skins; the standard SME skin and "SarkBlue", which was developed for the Sark .iso. - We may develop more if the mood takes us.
- Clean up of left-hand navigation menus. As a result, when you install this release you should run /etc/e-smith/events/actions/navigation-conf immediately after the install.
Commercially, (and forgive us for this short advertisement), we will shortly release a new version of SARK which we are calling "PBX-on-a-chip". This is a full blown SARK implementation on a Sandisk Extreme III CFCard with smart memory management and loads of other cool stuff. The idea is that you can buy it, plug it into a donor PC and you have an instant PBX. No messing about, no loads, no nothing. We think its pretty cool. If you are interested in running or "OEMing" it then drop us a line at admin@selintra.com
Er.. that's it. As always, let us know how you get on.
Kind Regards
S
